Our Services:

These are the fuel mistakes services we can extend to you:

AdBlue Contamination

In Greater London we are noticing more and more examples of AdBlue contamination where someone has put AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly a result of drivers not being totally sure the way to use it (take note: it's not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often right next to one another on the automobile.

Now, what exactly is the problem with having AdBlue in the diesel tank? Because the product is primarily deionised water, it is actually like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water will not blend in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. In addition, the urea is incredibly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

Assuming you have put AdBlue in a fuel tank empty it at once. And of course take care not to start the engine - not even to shift it from the pump. In the event that you have started the car you would probably need to have the whole fuel system cleaned and filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is certainly a significant issue to address in an automobile - specifically in current day common-rail engines. Putting water in the fuel tank can certainly result in idling issues, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not taken care of fully, oftentimes broken injectors. Water in petrol is easier to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to take care of both cases quite swiftly.

Be aware however that if the vehicle has been run with the fuel contaminated with water it will probably require a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the old one is going to be completely wet and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help you remove it. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or moored close to parking spot we are able to reach the fuel storage and remove the fuel. We have succesfully done many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel reservoir lying in the rear of your premises containing old, unusable or degraded fuel? We are able to help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to several privately owned and business premises in Greater London to take care of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or even several drums in a shed, as long as we are able to access it, we are able to drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Service

Run out of fuel in Edgware (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We run a comprehensive Greater London Run Out of Fuel Service. We can get out to refill your automobile if you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or even at your home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump price) to fill your car or truck. They can also deal with the normal troubles that might accompany running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not starting, as well as dead batteries because of over-cranking.

Petrol in Diesel Edgware - Edgware Fuel Drain

A while back a driver telephoned us soon after his Porsche stopped along a road in Edgware. He had by mistake put petrol in the diesel vehicle and got so far as the street before having to pull up. It was still in the early hours of the day and our fuel drainer, who lives nearby, got to him in approximately 20 minutes. We managed to get rid of the incorrect fuel and put clean diesel yet again in the car. "Sincere thanks to you for your immediate response, especially at 2 a.m., I really am grateful for it."
